New addition to Kindersley Fire Dept.

The Rural Municipality of Kindersley #290 along with the Kindersley Fire Department are excited to share their latest addition.

They took possession of a 2020 Freightliner 4X4 Urban Interface Fire Apparatus powered by a 400 Cummins Engine last week.

The unit, known as E11K or Engine 1, carries 3400 litres (750 gallons) of water and has a Class A foam system. It boasts SCBA seats for 4 crew, on board inverter to power equipment, booster reels on both sides of the unit, front bumper monitor, grass nozzles, and front bumper speed line. It has a 840 gallon per minute Rosenbauer pump with a high pressure pump.

This unit is capable of handling structure fires, vehicle fires and still get off-road when needed to fight grass fires.

The Kindersley Fire Department would like to express their thanks to the R.M. of Kindersley for providing them with such a valuable piece of equipment.

As one person commented, “Such a great partnership between the RM of Kindersley and the town! The benefits spread out over a large part of West Central Saskatchewan not just Town and RM of Kindersley.”
